He said as much to the Indubtrial College of the Armed Forces today in a speech scourging the soft-headed Soviet sympathizers who Rre trying to change the American way of life and g overnment. Baruch pointed out that Ruasia on the other hand, already is waging one kind of war on us - a "cold wat e r" he termed it -- simply to stir up unr st among us. He added that if the Russians really expect an economic collapse in this coantry they ~e going to be disappointed.

Under the Soviet ~egime, it's the pitchblende mines. From American Army Headquarters at Frankfort - am-Maine, the report comes that Germans are running away from the Russian zone by the thousands toe cape forced lab r, which they think is why the Soviets are compelling all German war veterans to register. Those pitchblende mines, from which 1 uranium is e v ntua lly obtained to make atomic bombs, now are being worked t • enty-four hours a day, in two shifts of twelve hours each.The mines are in Saxony - where before we ever heard of Uranium, the health resorts of Saxony w e famou s for their radioactive waters.
